BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional shoe generally includes an outsole with a vamp on a topof the outsole and a heel extends from an underside of the outsole. Thevamp can be made by different kinds of material and colors so as to showthe fashion ideas that designers want to present. However, the vamp iseasily to be scratched by objects and the scratch on the vamp isdifficult to be removed. Besides, the high heels have a fixed andunchangeable appearance and make people feel monotonous no matter howfashion they were when first published. A vigorous design is a goal forthe designers.

The present invention intends to provide a shoe that includes decorativepieces received in recesses in the outsole and/or the heel so as to havea brand new feel and fashion style.
